Transferring Out-of-state CDL To Illinois?
Topic 8305 | Page 2
I think the Bribery scandal started after the accident on I94 on the way to Milwaukee when a Family van ran over a part that fell off a semi trailer (mud flap bracket ?) , it flipped up into the fuel tank, the the Preacher and his wife escaped with burns, the 5 children perished.
The truck driver could'nt read or write English, and Bribed his way for his CDL in ILLinios.
Ah yeah, I forgot about that one. It was a huge deal in the news for quite some time too.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
Just obtained my CDL here near Chicago. I did it without going to a school. It was not easy but with determination and persistance you can do it. I agree with Dan 100% however. Not sure why anyone would want to move to Illinois for all of the same reasons that Dan has already mentioned. I'm trying to find a way out of here, along with a flood of other individuals and families. I've heard that the entire test is more difficult in California, especially the pre-trip.

Well that sucks I'm set to attend school CDL school at Roehl Transport July 13. I live in IL they said they would be issuing me a WI CDL. Found this online.
When I returned from attending a truck driving school located out-of-state, I was required to apply for a new license and pay the $60.00 fee. Why? When you leave the state and surrender your license or start the process to apply for an out-of-state license, your Illinois license become invalid. Once you return to this state, you must apply for a new license and pay all the applicable fees. This includes passing all written and road exams.
Has any other Roehl drivers had to go through this?
I have already taken the required exams and have my IL permit, but this looks like a complete set back.

Does anyone know of any company sponsored CDL training that takes place in IL? Trying to avoid taking all the tests over including road test.
Thanks, Tim

I intend to apply to Roehl as well to obtain my CDL and have recently become aware of the IL requirements to transfer an out-of-state CDL. I've got relatives in MI and I'm going to look into making that my state of residence if its easier to transfer a CDL there. Seems like a waste of money and time to come back here and spend more money on retaking all the tests

When I first took my test, Don't remember if it was Swift or CR England or ?, an Instructor had 3 or 4 Students practicing at the South Holland CDL/DMV before they openned for their Scheduled test in ILL, they were getting Trained in Gary IND, I was glad he was there as I was practicing also and he gave me a couple of pointers on how to pass the Skills yard Test...

The state agency that handles everything related to your driver's licences, including testing, issuance, transfers, and revocation.
I only got my CDL in case my job goes south. I will have a back up plan. A CDL is expensive and all 48 states should honor it. Its just a truck driving license. My gosh!
The fact that licenses are handled at the state level is because they always have been so the infrastructure is in place. To move everything to the Feds including identification, testing, issuance, and tracking would be a massive undertaking.
But I'm not sure why they allowed states to force you to re-test when you already had a CDL. It should just transfer, obviously. With some states it does, but not Illinois.
A number of years ago Illinois had a huge scandal involving the selling of CDL's. Ever since that happened they went to the more extreme system where you can no longer transfer anything into the state.
Our governor went to prison for this, I believe he just got out and is in a halfway house now. They would sell CDLs to pretty much anyone that asked as long as they had the money. When one of these illegal drivers ran into a station wagon with a family returning from a religious retreat and killed all 6 of their children, the you-know-what hit the fan. From what I understand, this incident is what started all the regulation changes and might explain why IL is so strict. All 6 of the children burned to death. Just horrible.
